Mars in Aquarius
The transit of Mars in Aquarius began on February 5, 2009 just before 4pm GMT. The planet will remain in this sign until March 15 around 3:20am GMT. Its energy will be particularly strong when the planet passes over the positions of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. The effects will be very noticeable from a climatic point of view. Memorable disturbances will be recorded and will become a major subject on the news. During one month and ten days, the god of war will prevail… Aquarius basically represents mankind and its madness, its need to show-off, to be different or to marginalize itself. Originality then or eccentricity will cause multiple excesses and disruptions. Aggressive or impulsive reactions, decisions taken hastily, unreasonable authority and an immense need to be right even when we are wrong, will create many errors and their consequences in important areas of life according to the each particular chart…
The natives of Aquarius will be more particularly concerned, under maximum tension and absolutely unpredictable in their reactions and reasoning. If you belong to this sign, I suggest you seek the analysis of your Solar Return chart in which these conjunctions will appear and that I will study to draw useful information and advice that will avoid you falling into the many ambushes represented by such configurations.
Mars will conjunct Jupiter and the North Node square Vesta on February 17. The influence will last for approximately three days, on either side of this date, with a climax on the 17. This period will witness social disturbances, strikes, demonstrations, general dissatisfaction and other vehement claims from various social groups. Farmers could be part of those who will express strong discontent. Weather wise, the wind will be at the origin of serious problems, as well as storms or volcanic eruptions…
Then Mars will join with Neptune on March 8, very close to Chiron’s position. Then again, turmoil may result from such cosmic energy concentration. Neptune symbolizes the sea, the ocean and its dangers and whims. Weather instability could produce tidal waves, storms or other strong currents and unusual tide movements. In addition, Chiron having to do with health, with the support of Neptune one can imagine some epidemics, a recrudescence of pulmonary diseases and hormonal disorders. Pollution and the risks of intoxication from gas will also be an important topic during the few days around March 8. Aquarius represents Russia, a country which will be frequently mentioned on the News during the transit of Mars in this sign.
As you can see, the forecast is quite gloomy. Even if some of us draw some benefit from the above mentioned configurations because their chart is in harmony with the sign of Aquarius, as a whole we will all be more intense, less patient and more aggressive over the next six weeks or so. When the Moon also passes in Aquarius, on February 23 and 24, expect particularly impressive reactions. There will be two very sensitive days during which important events will occur, as much on the weather level, as on the social, political or individual plan. This kind of planetary alignment destabilize the solar system and produces reactions that disrupt the activity of the Sun with gigantic eruptions and other explosions that send into the space billions of particles towards the planets surround it. Needless to say, the end of winter in the Northern hemisphere and the end of summer in the South will not go unnoticed! Some of the events may even become part of history books and thus become immortalized for future generations to remember or learn about…
Meanwhile, I wish you a pleasant weekend. Don’t overdo it and watch your reactions. You’d be surprised how fast accidents can happen…
